Camporeale to nominate for preseason draft

Camporeale failed to come to an agreement with the Blues on a new contract at the end of the 2005 season and the club then failed to find a suitable trade for the veteran during trade week.

Essendon is keen to recruit Camporeale for next season, but several other clubs have higher picks in the draft, which will be held in December.

Camporeale has played 212 senior matches for Carlton since making his debut in the 1995 season.

The 30-year-old was a member of Carlton's premiership squad that same year while his other achievements include All-Australian honours in 2000 and selection in the Australian squad for the international rules series against Ireland in 1998 and 1999.
